Because I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly Magazine, I get all of the updates on new movies, television shows, music, and even books weekly; it's quite nice and enjoyable! Last week, when Hugh Jackman's ribbed body as Wolverine came on the cover, I knew it would be a good issue. As it turns out, it was a double issue that was meant to inform the reader of all the new movies coming out this summer. Reading through this magazine, I realized there were many that I plan to see. The first one of course that came out on May 1st was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. (I have plans to see it tonight, so I will blog about it later). On May 8th, I plan to see Star Trek. I find it interesting that they are still making Star Trek movies; I hope this one will be better than the last one at least. Angels & Demons comes out May 15th, which will not be as good as the book, but I will still see it nonetheless. On May 21st, Terminator Salvation will be released. I am a HUGE Terminator fan, but the third movie absolutely sucked! I'm really hoping this one will be better...we'll see. In addition, Sasha Baron Cohen is in a movie this summer, released on July 10th, called Bruno. From what I've read and watched, it seems to be a more graphic Borat...if that's possible. The last movie I plan to see, since I will only update you to July, is, of course, Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, which will come out July 15th. It will most definitely not be as good as the book, but it will still be exciting to see the Director's take on J.K. Rowling's novels. Because I have been waiting for this film to release since last November, the fact that it is finally coming out is absolutely thrilling to me! You can bet that I will definitely be at the midnight showing for that movie!
From my experience and love for movies, I can reflect that some of my students will also have this same love. It will be important to stay updated on new movies, music, and books in the classroom setting so that I, as a teacher, can relate to my students and utilize this love in the classroom.

I just Wolverine tonight! I am curious to hear what you thought about it...
ReplyDeleteI like Entertainment Weekly a lot too. It always has really good articles and reviews in it! I have yet to read their summer preview issue though!
I am probably most excited for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It was my favorite Harry Potter book, and I cannot wait to see how the director interprets the book. I thought that they did a really good job with Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix, so I hope that they put the same time and effort into the new movie. Plus, I am still thinking about going to a midnight-showing. It should be great!
ReplyDeleteI was excited for Wolverine, but in the last week I have heard some things that have dampened my excitement. I am sure I will see it sometime this week. As for Star Trek, I plan on seeing it, but again I am not expecting to be amazed. J.J. Abrams last debacle (Cloverfield) was hilarious, unfortunately it was meant to be a horror film. I will say I am excited about Harry Potter, I can't help it. Overall it looks to be a good summer for movies, also check out Moon in August!
ReplyDeleteI am an Entertainment Weekly subscriber as well, and I was excited about Wolverine, too! I am a total movie-lover, and while I read through the magazine I, too found myself really excited about this summer's releases. As you said, I, of course, want to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And while I am not a loyal Star Trek fan, the new movie looks really good. However, I am an absolute Terminator fan, and I cannot wait to see Terminator Salvation!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Are you a Fast and Furious fan? It was a great summer movie in April!
